The Law of Nature

 By Xu Chunbo

In spite of distinct steps, the novelty will necessarily

pop out on the way

The major part of one’s life

is taken up by imploring and seeking way out

The chanting rises in a limited visual field

and the regular paean goes to the high priest

The trembling throne hangs by a thread

The thick coils of mere reputation will lead to naught

The utmost emptiness will be torn apart gradually

and the gap of time is cram-full of impalpable darkness

Summer is becoming poky after ebbing

but the end is still lingering at the corner

People freely disperse, surporting each other

The era has neither begun nor ended
